Now a bizjet, or older airline, or military plane depending on the plane may cause loss of power, but airliners are built to different standards.
The bird is flesh and bone whereas the sUAV is plastic, aluminum, steel and the Lithium battery. Which one is the softer in materials of the two? If you say the sUAV well I'm sorry it is NOT!!!
